The Electronically Cranked Coil Tester (ECCT) is the new standard for testing and adjusting Ford and K-W Model T coil units used on 1913 to 1927 model years. The ECCT is the only coil test tool that permits coil point adjustment by actually measuring the dwell time to fire the first spark. Each coil can be precisely adjusted for equal firing time to minimize coil to coil (cylinder to cylinder) ignition timing variation to help achieve the best possible engine performance using a fast pulse that emulates magneto output at normal engine speed. The ECCT also tests the internal capacitor (Condenser) for proper value and leakage to ensure maximum point life and optimum coil performance. The ECCT comes with AC power supply (100-240VAC, 50/60Hz), PC interface cable and Magneto test cable.

ECCT Coil/Capacitor Tester;a $299.95 value- Is included in this special package

Magneto Test Option - (Included)

The Magneto Test feature enables the ECCT to test Model T Magneto output is sufficient to properly operate Model T coils. Similar to the St. Louis Magneto Tester, the ECCT Magneto Test provides indication of magneto magnetic field strength using the same familiar measurement scale and a more meaningful Poor/Weak/Good/Excellent Magneto rating.

Magneto Test Option;a $149.95 Value - Is included in this special package

Advanced Features Software Option - (Included)

The ECCT is a standalone tool that does not require computer hook up to use, however, test results can be displayed numerically and graphically on a PC or Laptop with the optional Advanced Features Software which makes coil adjusting much easier. The software also permits the user to change the coil firing rate from 375 to 5000 RPM and number of sparks fired from 2 to 250 to fine tune coils for the ultimate engine performance. A written summary of each coil test result is provided along with suggestions on how to improve coil performance which is very helpful to beginners just learning how to adjust coil points.

The Magneto Test software display provides a real time engine Tachometer when used with the ECCT Magneto Test feature. Numerical read out of engine RPM, magneto output RMS voltage under load and no load conditions and numerical value of magneto magnetic field strength are provided. This software feature is included in this package.

The highly rated ECCT operates very differently from the venerable Hand Cranked Coil Tester (HCCT). The ECCT measures and displays the coil dwell time to fire the First spark which determines engine ignition timing and ultimate engine performance. The HCCT measures and displays the average RMS coil current which is an indirect approximation of time to fire spark. Unfortunately, coil current can be influenced by many other variables including coil inductance variations and point arcing which can cause significant variations in coil firing time and ignition timing. Simply put, that’s why you adjust ignition timing in modern cars for best performance and not ignition coil current.

The ECCT precisely measures the time it takes the coil to fire the first spark from a relaxed, steady state, standby condition similar to when the timer is in between cylinders and waiting to fire. ECCT coil test uses a rapid step change in voltage similar to what the magneto delivers to the coil when the timer comes on contact at normal engine operating speeds. The HCCT, in contrast, applies a continuous AC voltage to the coil without ever permitting the coil to rest in between firings as the timer and ECCT do. The HCCT voltage amplitude is weak (4V to 6V) and rises abnormally slowly at hand cranked speed (60 to 120 RPM) so coil points are adjusted for abnormally slow engine operating conditions. The ECCT permits coil point adjustment at normal engine operating speeds; 2000 RPM.
